Johan · Answer 1

A. Long Term Liability

B. Long Term Liability

C. Current Liability

D. Current Liability

Explanation:

Liability is a financial burden or obligation to pay.

Short term liabilities (Current) are the liabilities due & payable within one accounting year. Long term (Non current) liabilities are the liabilities due & payable over a long period of time, more than an accounting year.

A note payable for $100,000 due in 2 years : is payable beyond one accounting year, hence Long term liability

A 10-year mortgage payable of $200,000 payable in ten $20,000 annual payments : is also payable beyond one accounting year, hence Long term liability

Interest payable of $15,000 on the mortgage (outstanding expense) has been accrued already & is now due to be paid within current accounting year, hence Current Liability. [All other interests payable in long run are however Long Term Liability]

Accounts payable of $60,000 : are likely to be payable within one accounting year, hence Current liability

The categorization is shown below:

Explanation:

The categorization is shown below:

(a) A note payable for $100,000 due in 2 years = Long term liabilities as it is exceeded one year

(b) A 10-year mortgage payable of $200,000 payable in ten $20,000 annual payments. = Current liabilities and the long term liabilities. The annual payment is considered current liabilities and from next year it would be considered as long term liabilities

(c) Interest payable of $15,000 on the mortgage = Current liabilities as it is for one year

(d) Accounts payable of $60,000. = Current liabilities as it is for one year
